Veterans win hockey title
Veterans defeated Lucknow Hostel Red girls 2-1 to win the SN Kapoor memorial hockey tournament at Chandrabhanu Gupta ground. After a goalless opening half, Veterans struck twice through Imranul-Haque in the 36th and 38th minutes. Manjari Sharma pulled one back of a penalty corner for Hostel Red in the 40th minute, but that was the best the runners-up could do in the match. The regional manager of State Bank of India, Devi Shankar Mishra, distributed the prizes.
